Nat’l Lazy Day now. You know, we like this day, we like it a lot. We want to be as lazy as possible. This Fetishization of The Hustle Culture is not for us. The more you have to show how much you hustle — well, it’s like having to prove you’re rich or smart or good-looking, etc. We will let the world come to us a little. Deal?

Having had new members come into the extended family, and having lost some members during this time of pandemic and general uncertainty, we have become more certain than ever that we prefer the genuineness and authenticity of real-life moments rather than the phantom flashes of what is displayed to us on a screen via the brightest and the most histrionic and, yea, verily, the loudest presentations. If that means being lazy, so be it. Our only consolation is to hope that the age-old saying is true, ‘No one ever says on their deathbed that they wished they had spent more time at the office’.

So if we meet a couple of pressing deadlines every day, and maybe meet six or seven deadlines on a couple of those days each week, hey, it’s not a bad life!

OK, then. You guys go out there and hustle. We’ll see where you end up.

BestLine Racing Society Recap

Today it was a New York State of Mind (emphasis on the word ‘State’) via Finger & Saratoga. And never forget, only the good die young, etc.

In Race 2 at The Finger, #4 Quad Party (.204 Win Prob / 3.90-1 Fair Odds / 5.86-1 Premium Odds) won it for SUNY Rochester at an overlayed $15.20.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Regrets! Racing is hard. Not for the lazy!

BestLine Racing Society Nightcap:

Back to Albuquerque now. Hoo-boy. Do you feel bad for Kim Wexler Jr. now? She finally lost it on a shuttle bus at the local airport after realizing the life she used to have was not at all good, but neither was it as irrevocably bad as having to live in Florida with the Wonder-bread-and-Miracle-Whip rabble. In other words, she was condemned and damned either way, and that’s enough to make any normal human being bawl in inconsolable grief. Well, at least she had a redemptive act in writing out her confession, and the characters on that show who get to do that, well, they typically begin dwelling in the Great Beyond shortly thereafter. We shall see! 

On the other hoof, Slippin’ Jimmie McGill likely will not be afforded the opportunity to set his slate clean. And that’s probably how he prefers it; so, good for him!
